Sweet and Sober Truths for Bitter Providences 17

John Newton wrote, “I doubt not, but you will have your share of trials; but when the love of God is shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit, it sweetens what bitter things the Lord puts into our cup, and enables us to say, ‘None of these things move me!’… How happy to have such views of God's sovereignty, wisdom, love, and faithfulness as will enable us to meet every painful dispensation with submission, and to look through the changes of the present life to that unchangeable inheritance to which the Lord is leading us.
